Abstract

Mentoring is a crucial aspect of personal learning and is an effective approach for forwarding career development. In this study we examined the mediating effect of mentoring systems on the relationship between personal learning and career outcome of employees in Taiwanese companies. Using a survey conducted with 246 employees, we analyzed the effect of personal learning on career outcome. The results showed that employees’ personal learning and mentoring had a significant positive effect on their career development. Further analysis demonstrated that mentoring mediated the effect between personal learning and career outcome. In conclusion, mentoring mechanisms can have a sustained influence on personal learning and career outcome.
